Question

Rick and Susan want to have a child, but they want to make sure it will never go bald. Neither Rick nor Susan is bald. Male pattern baldness is an X-linked recessive trait. What has to be true about Rick and Susan's family and their potential child in order that there will be no chance of baldness.

Answer 1

Susan has to be homozygous dominant for the male pattern baldness genotype then they'll be in good shape. Otherwise there's a 50/50 chance their child will go bald if it's a boy.

Answer 2

thanks so much
